Genuin# Poetry.
BY JVLIA PLEASANTS.
W e have seen nothing out in ten years equal to
the following touching poetical tribute to the me
mory of Rqbt. A. W hyte. Who is Julia Pleas
ants' We shouid like to see her, know her,
shake hands with her, aDd be privileged to call her
a triend. The Louisville Journal has spoken our
sentiments in saying of her lovely and appropriate
monody : “ One might almost wish to die if he
knew that so beautiful a tribute would be written
to hia memory. 1 ’ We ask those of our readers who
admire pathos to read these verses with oare :

(late EDITOR OF THE GEORGIA HOME GAZET TF..]
On the bosom of a river
Where the sun unloosed bis quiver.
Or the starlight streamed forever,
Sailed a vessel light and free.
Morning dew-drops hung, like manna,
On the bright folds of her banner,
While the zephyr rose to fan her
Softly to the radiant sea,
Ai her prow, a pilot beaming
In the flush of youth stood dreaming,
And he was in glorious seeming
Like an angel from above.
Through his hair the breezes sported,
And as on the wave he floated
Oft that pilot, angel-throated,
Warbled lays of hope and love.
Through those locks so brightly flowing,
1 Buds of laurel-bloom were blowing,
And his hands anon were throwing
Music from a lyre of gold.
L Swiftly down the stream he glidod,
I SS2 Soft the purple waves divided,
p And a rainbow arch abided
On his canvas, snowy fold.
Anxious hearts, with fond devotion,
Watched him sailing to th* ocean,
Praying that no wild commotion,
’Midst the elements might rise.
And he seomed some young Apollo
Charming summer winds to follow,
B While the water-flags’ corolla
Trembled to his music sighs.
[ But those purple waves enchanted
Rolled beside a city haunted
B By an awful spell, that daunted
Hr' Every comer to her shore.
If Night shades rank the air encumbered,
jp And pale marble s.afues numbered
Where the lotus-eaters slumbered
B And awoke to life no more.
Then there rushed, with lightning quickness,
jfc O’er his face a mortal sickness?
r. And the dews in fearful thickness
Gather o’er his temples fair.
gMk-And there swept a dying murmur
*? Through the lovely Southern summer
As the beauteous pilot comer
V Perished by that city there.
Isgj I Still rolls on that radiant river,
And the sun unbinds his quiver,
Or;thestar ligut streams forever
- On its bosom as before.
But. that vessel's rainbow banner
Greets no more the gay savanna,
" "'- And that pilot’s lute drops manna
IfOn the purple waves no more.

Just about the time I left ban Francisco, on

General is more sanguinary than ever,
arid has decapitated as many as three hundred
within the last fortnight, we are told. This fear
ful amount of blood shedding, though performed
with a view to strike terror into the hearts oi
those who threaten to sack the city, meets with
no approval from the city residents. When the
rebels do take the city, the massacre of govern
mentolficers will be complete. The hund r eds
— f~' °of thousands of Canton men, women, and chil
dren, that were murdered by the Tartars in
1652, is not forgotten, and will be terribly
avenged.
From the China Mail , June 29.
In reporting the wreck of the Topaze and
another bark on the Pratas, we said two lorchas
were to be dispatched to their assistance , but it
would now appear that only one ventured on
the perilous undertaking, and we are glad to say
she has returned in safety, bringing with her not
only the remainder of the crew and passengers
ot the Topaze, but Mr. and Mrs. Malloy, passen
gers by the Hygeia, which vessel and not the
Sir Ed ward Ryan, as was at first supposed, prov
ed to be the second bark seen on the shoal by
the Cassiterides. Os the Hygeia’s crew and
passengers, 110 had managed to reach the island,
jpot 390 still remained on the hull of the vessel,
stuck upon the reef fen miles distant.
From the Friend of China, July 1.
§K The Topaze’s Pinnace, with fourteen more of
the Hygeia’s passengers, arrived on Thursday—
four days from the Pratas. When they left, no
vessel had arrived to their relief. They assert
that the whole of the passengers have got of! the
hull, and are on the island ; but from the short
interval which has elapsed since the Victoria
left, and the previous unwillingness to assist
each other, the probabilities are that the present
arrivals ran away with the pinnace, with which
n however, the passengers might have been saved,

Summary of the News for the Fortnight
ending August 16th.
The news lrom the various paits ot 4he min- |
MfeJy ing region is generally cheering. In the dry
dil-unas a want of water is felt, but the miners
there are waiting pahenly for the rainy season,
bein® satisfied there to pay their expenses until
thattime. In the parts of the mines where wa
ter is conveyed by flumes the mines are doing
well New diggings have recently been dis
covered in different portions of the country and
occasional “lucky striaes" are made as of old

Tfa# tidings received from every portion ol the

With tnfling exceptions a bounteous yield has
repaid the husbandman for his labor. Although
farmers have been for some time engaged in har
vesting their crops, the work can hardly be put
down as half completed.
In business there is little change to note. The
harvest season and river mining, which are now
at their height, have induced consiriesable trade,
and a fair amount of goods of all ki» ds have been
taken for consumption. Should the fall trade
prove as good as is at present expected, rates will
no doubt advance more or less. The limited
number of vessels on the way, and the caution
apparently exhibited in shipping, has induced a
partial degree of confidence in the business com
munity, w hich is gratifying to note. The arri
val of several clipper ships since the sailing of
the last steamer, and the consequent offering of
portions of their cargoes on the market, has not
been seriously felt; and, though rates were low,
they have not been forced still lower.
The claim of San Ramon, in Contra Costa
county, has beeu confirmed. The claim tor the
Rancho Canada de Guadaloupe, and for portions
of the Pulgas Ranch, has been rejected. Among
the rejected claims, were those lor the munici
pal lands of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo.

Their names were Henri Langle, aged 22 years,
and Edenard, aged 19 years.
Bidwell was burned down on the 2nd of Au
gust. The fire broke out in Evan’s building,
corner of Water and Turner streets, and swept
everything with fearful velocity. Not a single
building below the hill on this side of the river
was saved. The whole town was consumed in
one hour. Loss SIGO,OOO.
Another boulder, worth about 400 dollars, was
taken out of the Arcadia Tunnel, at Minnesota,

of the country along the proposed Central route
for a Pacific Railroad, have returned. Lieut.
Beckwith has been absent about lour months, and
will leave here for Washington on the 16th of
the present month, lor the purpose of making
his report at headquarters. From his statement
he considers the Central Route as highly prac
ticable for a railroad. It is to be hoped that
Congress will take some definite action upon
this matter, of such importance to California, the
United States and the world.
Some individual at Mariposa profeses to have
discovered by accident a subterraneous pass
through the Sierra Nevada, which he thinks is

The Democratic Soft Convention.
Syracuse, Sept. 6. —This afternoon the com
mittee on organization reported for President,
Wm. H. Ludlow; Vice Presidents, Wm. Minor,
Henry Floyd Jones, John Van Buren and several
oth u rs. The President was introduced amidst
loud cheers, and made a brief, pertinent and con

Mr. Wright moved the appointment of a com
mittee of two from each judicial district to report

A resolution was adopted that the delegates
from each jud cial district select two members to

nate a ticket, with the understanding that they
would withdraw one-half, if the “ hards” would
do the same.
Mr. Cochran, of Schenectady, said that no

Mr. Seymour now in order.
Mr. Cornell moved to postpone the nomination
and to adjourn. Carried.
BECOND DESPATCH.
Syracuss, Sept. 7.—The convention re-as
sembled at 9 o’clock this morning. Mr. Wright
from the committee on resolutions, stated that
the action ol the committee on the general fea
tures was unanimous except in one particular.
Mr* Mann said that Mr. Wright had mista
ken the committee—it was not unanimous.
Mr. Wright then read the majority report
which was recommendatory of comprising dif
ferences on the Nebraska question, dead against
the Know-Nothings, for free trade, internal im
provements, &c.
Mr. Wright’s resolutions were also highly
complimentary to Gov. Seymour. They were
adopted without opposition.
Gov. Seymour was then nominated for re
election. The vote was very faint, not more
than 20 having voted.
Mr. Mann was in favor of Gov. Seymour’s
nomination, but he wanted to know his position
on the Nebraska bill. [A violent attempt to
choke him down failed.[
Mr. Mann offered three resolutions which
were offered in committee—they were the Bal
timore resolves of 1852. The ayes and nays
were ordered, and amid great confusion the con
vention adjourned till 3 o’clock.
third despatch.
Syracuse. Sept. 7.—The convention re-as

First —Asserts the power of Congress to make
regulations for territories, and that it is its bound
en duty to provide against the extension and es
tablishment of slavery therein.
Second—Disclaims interference with slavery
as existing by national legislation.
Third—Disserts from the creed that the sla

A motion to continue the powers of the com

Death of S. T. Chapman, Esq.
The announcement of the death of Mr. Chap
man, will be received with surprise by many of
our citizens, and by feelings of regret by all, as
also by his numerous personal and political
friends throughout the State. He was taken
down in the after part of the day on Monday
last, and died between the hours ot lour and five,
p. m., Saturday. Up to Friday night, we be
lieve his case was not considered critical. We
saw him on the morning of that day when he
appeared to be laboring under considerable fe
ver, but conveised tree and rationally.
Believing him under good medical attention,
and in the hands ot good nurses, we indulged
the confident hope that a tew days only would
be required to again see him about. In an
nouncing his sickness in our issue of Friday
morning, in connection with that ot the senior
editor ot this paper, both ot whom lodged at the
same house, we freely gave expression to this
hope, but alas ! how vain and uncertain is hu
man judgment. In consequence of the unprece
dented storm that raged throughout the day of
Friday we found it impossible to visit him again
until between nine and ten o’clock, Saturday
morning, when just as we were entering his
room the fatal black vomit set in. After he was
placed back upon his pillow, we spoke to him, I
and he replied rationally. He looked at what j
his stomach hail rejected, and after our inspect- !
ing it be said “that is not it, that is not?2”— I
doubtless meaning it was not Alack vomit. To !
us the indications w ere unmistakable, and we
turned away with a heavy heart. He seemed
calm and composed, and willing to submit to the
will of Him who doeth all things well. He lin- j
gered until between four and five, P. M., when
his spirit winged its way to the God who gave
it. |
This is not the time nor ours the"pen to at
tempt a eulogy upon the deceased. We knew
him to possess a vigorous mind and a generous
heart—qualities which never fail to win valued
and lasting friends! At the time of his decease
he was the proprietor and editor oi the Savan
nah Journal & Courier, (temporarily suspended)
and State Printer. Peace to his ashes.— Sue.

Death of Mr, Wildman.
Again does Death call upon us to record his
triumphs!
The reader every where will learn with pain
of death by yellow fever, of Dr. P. H. Wildman,
which took place at his residence in this city
about six o’clock Sunday evening. This is a
most sad event, for the deceased fell a noble sac
rifice to his efforts to relieqe the sick. He went
night and day, in sunshine and storm sleeping
oftner in his carriage than in his bed, and paying
eighty and one hundred visits during a single
night. Several times he felt the invasion of
yellow fever upon his system, but as he inform
ed us, he succeeded in checking its progress by
taking Muriated Tincture of Iron, the remedy
which he has applied with so much success to
others.
Great, however, as his physical powers of en
durance were, he over-tasked them, and the '■
specific which brought relief to so many others
who now survive to mourn him, failed whenap- |
plied to himself.
Dr. Wildmun was about forty-five years of
age and of Northern birth. He came to Colum
bus, in this State several years ago, and from
thence to Savannah, in 1852. He was one of
the most skillfuljsurgeons and able physician in
the South, and has already entered upon an eg
tensive practice in this city. Os great intellec
tual force, simple manners and social disposition,
and of irreproachable character, his disappear
ance at such a time as this, is like that of a ship
at sea freighted with the hopes of hundreds.-Sat>.

Death of the Brothers Burroughs.
It is with deep sorrow we announce, on the
authority of a private letter from Augusta, that
Mr. Joseph H. Burroughs, and the Rev. Mr. Ben
jamin Burroughs, both brothers, of this city, died
at Bath, near that city, the former on Saturday
and the latter on Friday la t. Their disease was
yellow fever, the seeds of which they carried
with them from this place. Mr. Joseph H. Bur
roughs married the eldest dauphter of Judge Ber
rien, was about fifty years of age, in business a
merchant, and one of the best and most respec
table men in Savannah. His brother was some
what younger, he was a man of high character,
and esteemed by all who knew him. They
were sons of the late Mr. Benjamin Burroughs,
of the old firm of Sturgis &. Burroughs.
Iruly, “ Misfortunes come not single handed.”
Mr. William Burrougns, brother of the above,
lost but a few days ago a promising daughter,
and then a son. Next Mr. Berrien Burroughs,
son of Mr. Joseph H. Burroughs, died; and now
his father and uncle have gone to swell the list
of the dead. May Heaven, of its infinite mer
cy. bind up the bruised hearts of those who are
left.— Savannah Republican , 1 \th inst.
Further Particulars of the Hurricane
on Friday. —On our first page will be found
such particulars of the terrible hurricane that
swept over the city on Friday, as we were ena
bled to gather up to Saturday afternoon.
The three negroes referred to on Hutchinson’s
Island were saved.
The enclosure around Laurel Grove Cemetery
was very much injured.
The roof of the Catholic Church, and of the
house in which Bishop Gartland resides, was
considerably damaged. Many of the houses
from which the roofs were torn, must have sus
tained more or less injury from the rain on Sat
urday night.
The brig Amelia, which had just finished dis
charging, broke loose, and was blown ashore at
the Dry Dock. She is a perfect wreck.
The steamer J. Stone, became unmoored, and
drifted up to McAlpin’s place, about three miles
from the city. She is not much damaged.
Partial accounts have been received from the
Rice plantations on this side of the Ogeeehee ri
ver, which lead us to believe they have not suf
fered so badly as those on Savannah river. The
plantations of the brothers Cheves, the Haber
sham’s, and that of the estate of Heyward, suf
fered very much. All these are laijge and valu
able plantations.
Thus far we have heard ol the loss of no life.
The storm commenced to rage violently Thurs
day night when people were housed.— Sav. Re
publican, llth inst.
The Effect of the Drought. —The long
and severe drought is having a serious effect on
cattle, which are suffering not only for fresh
grass, but also for water. Many of the streams
in this vicinity are nearly dry, and such is the
case in almost every section of the State. Along
the line of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad wa
ter is becoming exceedingly scarce, and many of
the tanks from which the engines are supplied,
have now to be filled with water brought from
mill dams in the vicinity. Between Cumber
land and Wheeling farmers are under the.neces
sity of driving their cattle several miles to wa
ter, obtained from the drippings from the moun
tains, which they dam up for the purpose. The
shower yesterday afternoon, will, of course, af
ford some relief.— Baltimore Sun. ’ •
U. S. Troops Ordered. —We hear that Com
panies F, A and E, 2d Infantry, recently re-or
ganized, have been ordered to Fort Kidgely, on
Minnesota river, and Company K, 2d Infantry,
to Fort Ripley, Minnesota. The Companies of
the 6th Infantry, except those at Forts Kearny,

s Aid to Savannah.
We are pleased to learn that the Committees
appointed at the meeting of Saturday last, to so
licit aid for onr suffering fellow-citizens in Savan
nah, have received the sum of two thousand
three hundred and seventy-one dollars and thir
ty-five cents, which was transmitted by last
nights mail by our Mayor to the Mayor of Sa
vannah. Iu addition to this amount, collections
taken up on Sunday last in the Methodist and
Catholic Churches have also been forwarded.
These several amounts, with the thousand dollars
appropriated by our City Council, swell the con
tribution fiom our citizens to about four thousand
dollars. Some of our wealthiest citizens are ab
sent or the subrcription would have been larger.
Our friends in Savannah may be assured that the
deepest sympathy is felt by our entire communi
ty, for their misfortunes.
It is due to the gentlemen who served as the
Ward Committees, to state that their prompt
ness and efficiency are worthy of all praise
Mr. J. B. Hart being absent from the city, his
place on the Committee of the Third Ward was
filled by Mr. Wm. P. Carmichael.
We are requested to state that either of the
Committee will receive any donations from citi
zflls, or fiom residents in the country, during the
prevalence of the epidemic in Savannah, which
donations will be promptly forwarded. ,
Railroad Accident.
I he express train which left the city on Mon
day afternoon tor Charleston, met with a serious
accident just this side of Graniteville. In pass
ing over a culvert, the embankment gave wayi
the rails spread, and the engine, tender and two
or three lreight cars were smashed to pieces.—
The engineer, Mr. Wiihaxi Robertson, received
considerable injury, and the fireman was also
slightly bruised. Mr. Robertson was brought
up to the city, and is doing well. The passen
ger car was not injured. The passengers for
the Wilmington and Manchester Railroad and
for Charleston, who left in yesterday mornings
train, proceeded on their journey. The northern
mail was left behind and brought back to this
city, there not being room on the cars to carry it
on.
In consequence of the above accident, the
northern mail due at 4 o’clock, yesterday after
noon, did not reach the Post Office until after 5
o’clock.

Campbell Minstrels.
Our readers will remember that to-night this
deservedly popular troupe make their lastappeai
ance in Augusta, and no doubt will attract a
crowded audience. Although the weather has
been most unpropitious during the present visit
of the Campbells, yet so great is their well earn
ed reputation, that they have played to fair
houses every night. Such talented peiformers
as Mitchell, Keene, Rutnsey and the rest, could
hardly fail to draw a lull house in any weather.
To those who have not yet seen them, we would
again remark, that their last opportunity' of wit
nessing (heir performance, will be afforded to
night.
Matt Peel is a host in himself. The death of
poor Luke West has imposed a double duty up
on him, and those who listen to his brilliant sal
lies, and witness his grotesque and laughable de- i
; lineatian.B of negro character will confess that I
he is unequalled in the peculiar line of character :
he adopts. We understand that one-third of the
nett proceeds of the company is appropriated 1o !
the widow of poor Luke.
The company will appear in Athens on Thurs
day next. We commend them to the citizens of I
that classic city, and almost envy them the en
joyment which is in store for them. May th?y i
soon return to Augusta and give us another op
portunity to listen snd laugh at the jokes of Peel j
and the nimble and graceful steps of Mike
Mitchell in the dance. Long may the Camp
bells live to enjoy their well earned popularity.
Spain and the United States— A. cording
to a London letter in the New -York
General Espartero, the head of the new Spanish
Government, has had several interviews with
Mr. Scule, and has informed him that the Span
ish Cabinet will do its best to settle all matters
of difference having a pecuniary character, and
as to questions of national honor and dignity, the
United States cannot expect any greater <4tis
faction than in the fact that the impeached gov
ernmer.t, at whose hands Spanish subjects have
also suffered injustice, has been driven out by a
popular rising. As to Cuba, in particular, there
is no Africanization in view, but no purchase is
likely—the government being confident that,
with an honest and liberal policy toward the
colonists, they will become more use/ui and bet
ter satisfied dependencies of the mother country
than they have been hitherto.
The Peabody Festival in London. —George
Peabody, Esq , the American Banker in Lon
don, has published a letter in reply to some ill
natured strictures which recently appeared in
the Boston Tost, and attributed to Mr. Sickles,
Secretary of the American Legation, on the pro
ceedings at the fourth of July festival given by
him (Mr. Peabody) to the Americans in Lon
don, on that day. The statement that several
gentlemen did not rise when a toast in honor of
tne President of the United States was proposed,
he says, is untrue, as every one rose with the
greatest enthusiasm, and all honor was given to
our Chief Magistrate. Mr. Peabody further says
it has always been customary for him to invite
Englishmen to his festivals, and previous t- the
fourth he informed'the American Legation as to
who would be present. The portraits ot the
Queen and Prince Albert were present through
the courtesy of the Queen ; he managed to ob
tain a small one of Washington, but could not
procure one of the President in London. In re
ply to the charge of toasting the Quern before
the President, he says he did it with the sanction
of Mr. Buchanan, and adds:
‘‘On occasions when I have as guests my own
countrymen only, I give the ‘President,* or
‘ Our Country,’ and omit the Queen ; but if I
have a party of Americans and English, I, inva
riably, have given the Queen first, reeling satis
fied that I therefore conform to the laws of cour
tesy and etiquette; and I am, if possible, more
conhrmed in this opinion, by recently observing
that, at the loval demonstrations ot the allied
troops, the French bands commence with ‘God
save the Queen,’ followed by * Honor to the Em
peror;’ while, on the other hand, the English
bands reverse the order, and commence with
‘ Honor to the Emperor.’
“An absence of 18 years from my native land
has e adicated that party and sectional leeling
which hail some influence with me in early life,
but has strengthened my interest in whatever
aflects the welfare or honor of the whole coun
try; and I never did, nor will I ever preside, or
jsit, at a table and see or hear disrespect mani
fested towards the Chief Magistrate of my coun
try, without reproving the guiity party, and, in
future avoiding him.”
This feeling for the respect due the President,
Mr. P. says, will also apply to the Queen; and
had he noticed that the Secretary of Legation did
not rise when the toast to the Queen was pro
posed, he would not have refrained from instant
reprool; and should any Englishman present
have refused to honor a toast to the President, he
would have requested him to leave the table.
Richmond Flour Mills.— The Richmond
(Va.) Enquirer says the various fkur mills in
that city are now at work grinding the new
wheat crop that is coming to market. About {if
teen thousand bushels a day are required to keep
them supplied. There are seven mills in all
and at the present prices of wheat it requires
$26,750 worth per day to keep them in motion.
Col. Harney, of the U. S. Army, sailed from
New York on Wednesday, in the steamer Asia,
for Liverpool,en route for the theatre of the Eas
tein war. It the gallant Colonel could be per
mitted to take a hand in it, we have no doubt it
would become a little more interesting than it
has yet been. He intends, however, to,be a mere
spectator.
Tobacco in Virginia.— At the various to
bacco houses in Virginia there have been inspec
ted duiing the year ending the Ist instant, 44,-
465 hhds. of tobacco, against 47.421 last year.
\ ikginia and East Tennessee Railroad.
The Abingdon Virginian says: “The track is
now laid to a point within thirteen miles of
Wytheville, and is expected to be finished to
that place, barring “Providential hindrances/’
by the 15th of October. The work has been re
tarded by a heavy freshet which washed away
a considerable embankment. The Lynchburg
Virginian says that the busiuess of the road is
increasing with astonishing rapidity, the freight
lor several days last week having averaged one
hundred and fifty-eight tons.
Newark, N. J., has this year suffered so se-
J verely from the cholera that the deaths of that
j dlsease have, in proportion to the population,
| doubled those in New-York, trebled those in
I Boston ’ and quadrupled those in Philadelphia
' 1 his peculiar unhealthiness is attributed to the
undrained marshy land lying about the place.
The Debt of Great Britain.—The London
Times sfatesdhat the present annua! charge for
interest, &c., on the British national debt is £21,-
443,711, but that it will be reduced to £2£ 236 -
211 between the years 1855 and 1860. ’ The
stock known as the 3j per cents, will in a few
weeks, be converted into new three per cents,
making an annual saving of £600,000. In Oc
tober 1859, annuities will expire to the amount
of £306.000.
Ihe Newark Riot.— The investigation be
fore the Coroner’s Jury in Newark, in relation
to the death of Thomas McCarthy, during the
riot which took place in that city on Tuesday of
; last week, was concluded on Thursday, and the
| verdlct Is “he came to his death by two gun
I or pistol shots, fired by a person to the jurors un
known.” No opinion is expressed as to the ori
gin of the riot.
On the 12th ult. the day that the British Par
liament was prorouged, the House of Commons
received irom the foreign office a copy of a re
port from Mr. Crawford, the British consul at
Havana, stating that the trade in slaves to Cuba
has been more active in 1853 than for eleven
years before (1844 excepted.) This report con- I
tamed a list of el ven or twelve ships that land- j
ed between 9,ooo’and 10,000 slayes from the !
coast of Airica. These facts show hrw ineffec- !
tual all the exertions of the British government j
to suppress the slave trade had been. For more
than thirty years England has endeavored to I
suppress the itraffic.
1 he New York Herald says that such was the
; peculiar state ot the atmosphere on Sunday ni -ht
j last, produced, it is supposed, by the intense he°at
; that notwithstanding the application of the most
inflammable materials the furnaces in the en
gine room could not be got fairly under way un
til after the sun rose. The same difficulty was
experienced in another newspaper establishment.
i D ?STBircTros OF THE R, CE Cuop.-We learn
(says the Savannah Georgian) from gentlemen
i whose opinions are worthy of entire credit, that
trom two-thirds to three-lourths of the entire
rice crop has been destroyed by the storm of
• Friday.
A heavy rain fell on Wednesday night, in the
| I.eastern States, particularly Maine, where it
accomplished the double good of relieving the
parched vegetation and extinguishing the fires
in the woods which had become so prevalent
and alarming.
Shameful Dishonesty.—As a proof of the
extensive adulteration of liquors in this country
the New York Sun says that more port wine is
drank in the United States in one year than pass
es through the Custom House in ten ; that more
ehampagne is consumed in America alone than
the whole champagne district produces- that
cognac brandy costs four times as much in
France, where it is made, as it is retailed for in
our grog shops; and that the failure of the whole
grape crop in Madeira produced no apparent di
munition in quantity or increase in the price of
WIH3,
Grisi and Mario’s Second
tie Gaiden, N. Y., on Wednesday evening, was
not so well attended as on the first night, but
still, considering the extreme heat of the weath
er, there was a fine house, and the performances,
it is said, were received with increased applause.
“ Airs. Coutts” again occupied the choica seati
and attracted no little attention. It is stated
that she-was very elegantly dressed in a robe of
white silk, with flowers in her hand, and a pro
fusion ot ornaments. Her costume, in fact, re
sembled rather that of a vestal attired for the
last important ceremony of her maiden life than
the evening dress suitable to a Theatre. The
whole passage way to her seat was blocked up
throughout the evening, by those whose curiosi
ty had been excited to "have a look at hen She
took refuge, however, behind an enormous fan,
which served to conceal her in -ome degree from
public gaze.
| COMMUNICATED. |
The stern, dark form of death
Is walking up and down ;
And in his icy arms he clasps
Our fair devoted town.
Her noble brow is pale with grief,
Her eyes are dim d with Tars;
Still, death is urging on each hour,
The slumb’rors on the biers.
Nor hoods the pestilential king,
The weeping mother’s woe;
His Huger points to his dread realm,
lie names them, and they go.
The fiends of the storm grow wild,
His breath they can t withstand ;
And in their madness they rush down,
And devastate the land.
0, God! it makes the heart grow sick
To contemplate the scene;
To see the pale and prostrate term
Os Georgia’s \>ride and queen.
Is there no power on high can save,
A greater than the storm ;
Or pestilential terror, king,
To help the poor forlorn ?
0, yes, there’s one—a Mighty One,
That rules above them all;
And Helias promised, in distress,
To help us whon wo call.
Let all the land bow down as one.
And supplicate our God
To hear us, answer, help and save.
And stay the chast’ning rod.
The voico of truth, of love, of pray’r,
Ascending up to Iloav’n ;
From Heav’n’s eternal court of love,
The blessing will be giv’n.
